Project Overview
This Johns Creek property was transformed into a cohesive outdoor living environment designed for comfort, entertaining, and year-round enjoyment. A custom rectangular gunite pool anchors the space, complemented by a raised spa with integrated spillway and a clean-lined water feature wall.
Expansive hardscape creates generous gathering zones, while fire elements and layered evergreen plantings provide warmth and privacy. A covered patio extends the home’s footprint outward, allowing indoor and outdoor living to blend seamlessly.
The result is a classic backyard retreat — structured, refined, and built to complement the surrounding neighborhood architecture.

How long did this project take to complete?

Is a raised spa the right choice for a layout like this?
Raised spas work especially well in structured suburban settings, creating a central focal point while allowing integrated spillover and elevation contrast within a clean rectangular layout.
How is privacy maintained in subdivision neighborhoods?
Strategic evergreen plantings and layered landscape beds provide year-round screening without overwhelming the space. This approach preserves openness while creating separation from adjacent properties.
